Art is a never-ending dance of illusions.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Art constantly evolves and is shaped by perceptions and interpretations.
Bob Dylan's quote reflects the idea that art is not a static entity, but rather a dynamic process that continually transforms through personal and collective human experiences. The 'dance of illusions' suggests that art plays with our perceptions, drawing us into a world that, while captivating, is rooted in the subjective nature of our understanding and emotions.

When you make music, you're forming these invisible vibrations in the air into different shapes and consistencies and speeds in order to create music, and understanding how the math of that works just gives you more colors to paint with, and allows you to get to what you want quicker.
